JOY

"Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."          Nehemiah 8.10

Just like their child's success brings a parent joy, the joy of the Lord is our strength. Therefore, don't let your everyday problems neutralize God's joy. Be strong and courageous because He is with you.

WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT?

"Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away."     Hebrews 2.1

What could possibly be more important than our eternal life? 
Because they do not understand this, the blind and foolish have turned their back on the Divine truth and clung to the vanities of this world.
But the wise invest all of their life and all of their strength to achieve eternal life.

SIN WILLFULLY

"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgement and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries."         Hebrews 10.26-27

Some people live in sin because they are dominated by a spirit. But when the bible refers to those who sin willfully, it is referring to those who deliberately consent to live in sin. They were free at some point, but because of their own will, they turned back to sin. And for them, there is no longer hope for salvation.

A DIVIDED HEART

"But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."       Matthew 12.25

When your choices are well-defined it reveals the kind of person you are. If you are unable to define your position with the little things, how will you define your position when it comes to what is eternal?
This is why we have faith, but only a few are able to use it. Many have faith to sing, praise, pray and even attend church services but they don't have faith to take certain actions that will change their lives.

LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA

"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."    James 1.6

Just like a ray of light breaks through the darkness, faith does the same with doubts. But that does not mean that doubt will give up. Persevering in believing what is written in the Word of God is the only way to get rid of your doubts. 

PRUDENT

"The simple believes every word, but the prudent considers his steps."    Proverbs 14.15

People who do not use reason accept the standards of this world and are influenced by the media, the fashion industry and their worldly friends. On the other hand, the children of God listen to and consider His Word, which straightens and gives direction to all the areas of their life.

GOODNESS AND SEVERITY

"Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but towards you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off."         Romans 11.22

Modern Christians consider God's love, kindness and mercy. But they forget about His justice and severity.
However, if He did not spare the fallen angels, or mankind during the time of Noah, or the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah, do you think that He has changed and will spare those who have fallen and didn't repent.
